scrm-8 encodes a putative phospholipid scramblase required for normallyshort lifespan; SCRM-8 is homologous to human PLSCR1-5, and paralogousto other C. elegans SCRMs (e.g., SCRM-1).
Predicted to enable phospholipid scramblase activity. Predicted to be involved in plasma membrane phospholipid scrambling. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
